After unit has run & shut down, does unit restart automatically when temperature drops below set level or do i have to plug it into remote thermostat?

The Unit will neither shutoff or start on its own. It's basically just a burner and a blower. To start it you plug it in to start the blower, turn on your propane tank then press the ignition/gas buttons. To turn it off you just close your propane tank valve, let the blower run for a minute so the unit can cool, then unplug it to stop the blower. Even if you rigged a thermostat to cut off the power you'd still have to manually hit the igniter to restart the burner.

I am not aware of any feature that would automatically shut it off or turn it on. I have the unit in my garage and when it gets to be a nice temperature, I unplug it. When it gets cool I again plug it in. So if you are wanting more of an automatic unit I don't think this will do it at least that I am aware of. When I plug it in there is a button you have to push manually to iniate the ignition of the burner.

No it's just on or off. Works very well. I am happy with mine and no fumes. You have to start yourself and turn off yourself. Hope this answers your question

The unit does not have a thermostat as you already know. You must hold a start button down for about 15 seconds before the unit starts. So to answer your question, "No, the unit WILL NOT restart on its own. Barry

My unit ran nicely for 4 hours out of the box. After that, it wouldn't restart no matter what. I hope this helps.

Kerosene torpedo heaters would be able to operate with a thermostat, since they can start on their own when power is applied, but this propane type requires manual intervention. Depending on your requirements, a kerosene version may be a consideration, particularly good for outdoor use. Indoors and with more enclosed areas, propane would be better as there would be less odors emitted.

would this heater work as well as others have said in a 2 car garage that isn't insulated?

Unit does not shut down unless it runs out of propane or you turn it off. To shut off you must shut off the propane to extinguish the flame then let the fan run for a few seconds before unplugging.

Yes, This Pot Will automatically Restart And Bring It Back To The Preset Temperature. I Hope I Answered Your Question.

The thermostat will keep the temp. In a safe range. Leaving the unit running to long could cause over heating.

Yep, I've had mine running all winter long. The unit itself doesn't get hot and once the room reaches the desired temp (set by you) it goes into power save mode.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.

If your humidistat actually breaks the power circuit, then yes leaving the unit on should re-start it when the power is resumed. It is a basic unit. You turn a mechanical knob to set fan speed to low, medium, or high. It stays on until it is turned off, or water gets low. I bought it for my mother in law to use in the winter, so I can not actually test my conclusion. All I know is she has to re-fill water tank every other day, which is a pain, however the unit is still working well.

You can use the thermostat on the low setting, but the automatic shutoff and turn on will not work as described in the instruction booklet.

I returned mine. Could not get the thermostatd to trigger the unit back on when dropping below temperature. Tried 2 different units and had the same issue.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

evidendenly your humidity is lower or the same as number being seen so just press button under number you'll see it go down to lower number and you'll see the go light go on and hear it start up, i set mine on 40, bu it does shut off when it reaches 40 and if you unplug unit you have to do button all over again

Once the heater shuts down, will it turn back on once temp in room goes down? Thanks......

It goes to the current temperature of the room. We always set ours at 80 so that it can run until the room is pretty toasty and then it shuts itself off and turns back on whwn the room gets under 80.

Is the compressor running or just the fan/coil unit after the temperature is reached? Does it cut off after a couple of minutes? If it just keeps running, it sounds like it might have been wired incorrectly, assuming the "Fan" switch isn't in the "On" position (if it is, switch it to the "Auto" position). If it just continues to run for a couple of minutes, I think the thermostat is likely programmed to do that as a (mildly misguided) effort at efficiency by taking advantage of the low refrigerant temperature that lingers a bit after the compressor has shut off. I actually don't have this model (and am not sure why Amazon thinks I do), and I am going from the behavior of the model TX5000Ua that I do have.

You turn it on and it's good to go...you control it with the remote control. There's a high and a low setting. Once it reaches the max. temp within both of those settings, it will shut off and come back on, just like your furnace. The temperature is a digital panel on the front, so you know what temp the room is at. Very handy unit.

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

Turn Machine off, unplug, empty, then plug in, turn on and it will automatically start after a few seconds. It also will shut off when humidity level reached and auto restart itself when level rises.

My unit seems to run fine at colder temps It will shut off itself if it does not need to run.. But I don't run it when it gets below 50 degrees outside ,because I have no need to run it then.
